We
meet each Tuesday morning at 9:30am in the church Social Hall and work until

materials that are given to us and we try to lay it out into lap
blankets. We then donate the lap blankets to homes and other
places. We also add a prayer to each one. Come join us--just walk
in--we would love to meet you and work together.

New focus
New Focus Ministry has been in existence at CPC for 23 years. It is designed to facilitate people in learning how to manage their finances and use a budget to become more financially stable. We work closely with Opportunity House and quite a few of our members have transitioned from homelessness to self-sufficiency. We have helped hundreds of people learn to live independently, with support from their coaches. Most members are single parents who are dedicated to making their lives better for themselves and their family.
We rely on a group of volunteers (coaches, directors, childcare providers) who have a passion for helping our members. We typically meet on Thursday nights at church, but during the pandemic New Focus continues to meet through weekly Zoom meetings.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or want to be part of this ministry.

FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGERS
Fellowship of the Ringers, Lord Thank you for this beautiful fellowship, we had many questions for this group and here is what we have to share about this ministry. The ringers started 20 years ago like this; Before there was ‘Fellowship of the Ringers’ our leader, Genele Rhoads, put together a children’s chime choir; 5 of the existing Fellowship players had children in that group. As the kids grew up, they moved on to hand bells and since the parents were there helping the kids or filling in for absences, we became a group of parents and children which allowed us to play music with more bells. Before you know it, the kids were growing up and moving on to other interests, so we became smaller a handbell choir that played music in the key of C needing only 12 bells so that we would not need the bell tables, making us more portable….and Fellowship of the Ringers was born. One night we played for a board and care home across the street from our director, and on a lark, decided to go over to Lollipop Lane to see if we could play on someone’s drive way…. Which we did; we played there for several years until the house was sold. That’s how it started, it grew from there; now, in addition to playing at CPC, we typically play at the downtown tree lighting, the O House gala dinner, several care facilities, individual shut ins, Epiphany Friday homeless dinner, St Mary’s toy and food distribution and the occasional flash mobbing around town, among others. The last 3 years, we have also made and donated a mini tree to the Festival of Trees.
